Terms of Use
Last updated: 23 October 2026
HouseScan (housescan.com.au) is operated by PTE Study Pty Ltd (ABN 36 624 610 751). "We" and "us" in these terms means that company. By using the site you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use it.
1. What HouseScan is, and what it isn't
HouseScan gives you general information about a property, its area and the market. It draws on public and third-party data, and some of it is written by AI. It is not:
- A valuation. Price estimates, ranges and "the most to pay" figures are calculated automatically. They are not a valuation by a certified valuer and must not be used for lending, tax, legal or insurance purposes.
- Financial or credit advice. We don't hold an Australian financial services licence or a credit licence, and we haven't considered your objectives, finances or needs.
- Legal advice or conveyancing. The contract check lists things to ask about. It doesn't replace a solicitor or licensed conveyancer.
- A building, pest, pool, strata or survey inspection. Aerial and photo reads only cover what can be seen from above or in the photos.
Before you bid, buy or sign, check anything that matters to you with the right professional and the official source.
2. Data and accuracy
Data comes from government open data, other public sources, agents' websites and AI reading of what you upload or paste. It can be incomplete, out of date or wrong, and some areas have less of it. AI can misread documents and images. We try to show where data comes from and how sure we are, but we don't promise that any result is accurate, complete or current. See Sources for data sources and licences, and Method for how estimates are worked out and how accurate they have been.
3. Using the site
HouseScan is for your own property decisions. Please don't copy or scrape the site or its data in bulk, run automated queries, try to get around rate limits or security, resell results, or upload material you don't have the right to share. We may limit or block access that looks automated or abusive.
4. What you upload
When you upload a contract, screenshot or listing text, or ask a question, we send it to our AI provider to produce your answer. We don't keep the files after the answer is made. Before uploading, remove anything we don't need to see, such as bank details or ID numbers. You keep ownership of what you upload.
5. Email alerts
If you follow a house, we email you when it's listed, has a price cut or price change, gets an auction date, or sells. Every email has an unsubscribe link.
6. A free service that may change
HouseScan is free for now. We may change, pause or stop any part of it, and we may update these terms. The date above shows the latest version.
7. Consumer law and liability
Nothing in these terms excludes rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law that can't be excluded. Subject to that, HouseScan is provided as is. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss arising from your use of, or reliance on, the site or its information, including decisions to buy, bid, sell, borrow or sign. Where our liability can't be excluded but can be limited, it is limited to supplying the service again.
8. Intellectual property
The site's design, text and software belong to us or our licensors. The HouseScan name and domain are used by PTE Study Pty Ltd under licence. Third-party data stays under its own licence (see Sources). NSW sales data is used under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0.
9. Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of New South Wales, Australia.
